We love to see that our members want to help revive LVI! While we wait and work on bigger changes, we think it might be a good idea to bring back our bi-monthly contests! We've had fun with our recent "Video of the Month" contests, but we want to see some excitement and effort put into a more "themed" contest as we had in the past. But the success of that will require participation: new videos! Before we decide if we are going to have a July/August contest, or stick with "Video of the Month" a bit longer, we would like to know who would be interested in entering! Please vote in this poll to give us an idea of how many entries we may get.

Also, feel free to post any ideas for a theme you'd like to see! We'd love to hear some suggestions!

I votef for option #2, cause I'd love to join, but that depends on theme. IMO, it should be a pretty open topic, so we could interpretate it in different ways and use various fandoms

I too voted for option 2. It depends on the theme.

I also voted for the theme. That is my #1 determining factor on whether I enter a contest. For me time is a small factor, but if the theme strikes a chord than I'll find a way to make time to do the vid.

I agree that it should be something that can be interpreted into many different fandoms. I'm a little limited on what fandoms I have extensive material for, so theme is the biggest factor in whether I can enter. I have seen some really fun contests but I just didn't have the material to be able to participate.

I enjoy vid of the month, but I would love to see themed contests return too.

Thanks for your replies! That's exactly what we were hoping to see.

Theme is a big one for me too.
Maybe we could have a poll to vote for the theme for the month so that the majority will be interested in whatever is chosen?

I think that's an interesting idea, having people vote for which contest we do.

That thought had crossed my mind as well.

I think it would be good to have maybe 3 themes to choose from and have us rank them from which we're most interested in to least interested in. If the results happen to be really tight than maybe 2nd place would be the contest for the next bi-monthly contest. I think it would be helpful with the poll option to also state why you did or didn't choose a particular theme.
